Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Codes: AC9M3N01, AC9M3N03, AC9M3N05, AC9M3N06, AC9M3A01. Target: sample place-value reasoning and an additive problem; name a next practice step. Set out: Check B, number builder, quiet station.

  1. Purpose · 2 min. Say: “Today I want to see your model and your check. You can change your answer if you find a reason.”
  2. Rehearse · 5 min. Together represent 15 204 and solve 24 + 18 = 42. State that the new prompts, not this review, will be recorded.
  3. Place task · 6 min. Everyone builds 14 307 and chooses the larger of 14 307 and 14 370. Ask for the first different place. Quietly sample scheduled focus learners and note help.
  4. Problem task · 7 min. Read: “There are 346 tickets in one box and 178 in another. How many tickets altogether?” Children estimate, model, solve 524 tickets, then write/show an inverse check. Let classmates work independently while teacher samples; collect work before a shared answer.
  5. Feedback · 3 min. Respond to actual work: “Your estimate was in the right hundreds. Let's revisit the ten exchange that changed your exact answer.” Choose a model to practise next.
  6. Close · 2 min. Learners indicate a strategy they want to reuse. Mark independent / with a prompt / not yet observed; a correct peer-copied number is not individual evidence.

Access and time: one teacher cannot privately hear every child in this 25-minute block. Rotate short 3–4 minute interviews across Days 8–10 or a later station. Do not turn the result into an end-of-year judgement.
